maire-cate, my DH started baking after he retired too....he makes our graham crackers all the time...a healthier alternative to cookies and they are delish, esp with penzey's vietnamese cinnamon. Yum!

My favorite picture of me on vacation in Utah 25 years ago2nd favorite on vacation on the Blue Ridge parkway about 40 years ago...yes, I was having a good time in the rain.

Murraysmom, I used to give cat food to an old lady who lived down the bayou from me. I had her 4 cats neutered for her. She died and I fed the cats. Meanwhile, someone dumped out a white cat there. She had kittens. I told her boyfriend I would find homes for the kittens. He said he was keeping one and he knew people who would take the others. But he moved off and left them. I moved away but furnished food and paid someone to feed them. Once I got settled, I went back and got them. By then the mama cat, and her 3 daughters were all pregnant...they all had white kittens. I have so many white cats, I can hardly tell them apart.

Pitaya flowers getting ready to bloom. I took photos and made a mental note to come out later when it got dark and pluck one to bring inside and totally forgot 😒 They have a nice fragrance - and they only last one night
